The medium-ruby colored 2013 Sangiovese Guido comes all from Jack’s Vineyard in the Rocks region of Walla Walla. It has juicy acidity and an elegant, medium to full-bodied style, as well as lots of kirsch and cherry fruit characteristics, spring and spice. It shines on its purity and finesse, and should keep nicely through 2023.

(12.5% alcohol): Palish red. Dried red cherry, redcurrant, pomegranate and warm bricks on the nose. At once round and juicy, conveying a lightly saline quality to its red cherry and red berry flavors. A bit on the soft side but shapely nonetheless. This expressive Sangiovese finishes subtly long and complex, with a lingering salty quality.
